It will be interesting to see how WSCI relates to BPEL4WS,
WS-Transaction and WS-Coordination.

> Abstract
>
> The Web Service Choreography Interface (WSCI) is an XML-based
> interface definition language that describes the flow of
> messages exchanged by a Web service participating in
> choreographed interactions with other services.
>
> WSCI describes the dynamic interface of the Web service
> participating in a given message exchange by means of reusing
> the operations defined for a static interface. WSCI works in
> conjunction with the Web Service Description Language (WSDL),
> the basis for the W3C Web Services Description Working Group.
> It can also work with another service definition language
> that exhibits the same characteristics as WSDL.
>
> WSCI describes the observable behavior of a Web service. This
> is expressed in terms of temporal and logical dependencies
> among the exchanged messages, featuring sequencing rules,
> correlation, exception handling, and transactions. WSCI also
> describes the collective message exchange among interacting
> Web services, thus providing a global, message-oriented view
> of the interactions.
